Can I include some kind of notification outside of my blog that will automatically update whenever I post a new article?

For example... my blog is at root/blog/article.html.

My main index page is at root/index.html.

I'd like to know if there's a way (assumably using SSI) to have a text link on my main index.html display the date and link of the most current article I've posted in my blog.

Does that make sense? Is it possible? Thanks in advance...

Yep!  You can use php or ssi to include the info about the latest entry on your index page - here's how I do it for my portal with php.  You can use a SSI include in the same way

Thanks for the quick response  :D .  I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but a quick glance suggests that it should go off without a hitch.

Thanks again,
